Everyone was happy for Yuyao's return for a while, then introduced Selia and Freda to everyone, and finally talked about their discovery in the northwest in the laboratory, and the fact that they were about to meet a few willow trees in Linhai City in the near future.

It's not once or twice to deal with the willow tree, everyone has a very clear understanding of the strength of the willow tree, and the short-term joy brought by Yuyao's return was instantly dissipated. The expressions on everyone's faces became solemn.

Except for one person......

The expression on Zhu Ting's face can be described as ecstatic, and those who don't know think that what they notified just now is that they are going to eat braised pork belly at noon today~

This is going to hold your head and face the big boss, nine deaths and a lifetime thing, are you happy to be like this?

Everyone turned their heads and looked at Zhu Ting with an expression that was not a normal person.

But Zhu Ting ...... Already fully immersed in his own world, he turned on the projector in the laboratory with an excited face, and turned back to call everyone to look here.

On the projector is a cross-cut map of the terrain, from far to near, continental shelf, offshore zone, coast range, rolling hills.

"This is Linhai City?" Fang Chen spoke.

Zhu Ting gave an appreciative look worthy of my student: "Yes, Linhai City!" ”

Then, without waiting for others to answer, he pointed to the map on the projector with his hand and began to say: "This is the topographic map of Linhai City that I have roughly sketched based on the data of the feedback points in the past two months. After saying that, with a wave of his right hand, a map was changed on the projector, and this map is also a topographic map, which is obviously clearer and more complete than the previous one, and: "Isn't this also Linhai City!" ”

Yu Yao shook his head: "The date is different." ”

Zhu Ting glanced at Yu Yao appreciatively again, and switched the two pictures back and forth a few times.

But apart from the changes in time and the fineness of the drawing, everyone didn't see any other differences, and they all looked up and looked at Zhu Ting suspiciously.

Zhu Ting's eyes stayed on the first picture, and he said with a little excitement: "The average altitude of Linhai City has dropped by fourteen meters!" ”

"This is normal, the tide is turbulent, and the counterattack has been for such a long time, Linhai City has borne the brunt, and the average altitude drop is a normal phenomenon." Hara Bo took it and said.

Zhu Ting shook his head: "It's not normal, I've surveyed several cities in Binhai with the same geographical location as Linhai City, and their average altitude has sunk by three meters at most, and the sinking high line is basically decreasing inland along the coastline." As he spoke, Zhu Ting flipped through a few more pictures.

But, "Linhai City is different. The excitement on Zhu Ting's face almost overflowed into substance, "The sinking high line of Linhai City is around the Normal University, and it gradually spreads outward from the artificial lake of the Normal University...... and then he turned his head and said loudly: "It's those willow trees, it's they who dragged Linhai City ten meters away!" ”

"In addition to the loss of nutrients they have caused by soil nutrient absorption, I guess that the mass of their single plant has exceeded 100 million tons......" Ignoring everyone's ugly faces, Zhu Ting turned his head to look at the obviously sunken location on the map, and sighed affectionately: "What a magical creature this is!" It's simply fascinating. ”

Everyone looked at the satisfied look on Fang Chen's face, and they all suspected that they seemed to be a little presbyopia~

Freda, who had studied Chinese for a year or two, only understood a general idea, but he still couldn't help but turn his head and quietly ask Chen Yun who was standing beside him: "Isn't his place very easy to use?" He reached out and pointed around his head.

Chen Yun was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to explain Zhu Ting's sick research attitude to this kid, so she simply nodded vaguely: "Yes!" ”

Freda smiled pitifully, and didn't ask why he had a problem with his head here, everyone was still willing to stay here and listen, but they just looked at Zhu Ting's eyes with loving tolerance......

But this did not affect Zhu Ting at all, he obviously had studied these willow trees for a long time, and the projector changed another map, this time, it was a world map.

Without Zhu Ting to speak, they saw the black ink line spreading out from Linhai City, from south to north, across the equator, across the Pacific Ocean, and the branches had even hooked up to the edge of the Atlantic Ocean.

Is this the one of those willow trees? Everyone knew it was big and long, but they didn't know that it would be so big...... The big one is completely beyond their imagination.

Against such behemoths, can they really win?

This is the first sentence that everyone asks in their hearts after seeing the picture.

Some people retreat in their hearts, what do we care about so much? People can't live for a hundred years at most, the world is already so difficult that it can't be reversed by manpower, why do they still struggle, the willow tree will also pick soft persimmons and pinch them first, and they won't fight for a while, why can't they survive. They can't win, they can't win.

They want to retreat, they want to retreat into their own valley of comfort, they feel that it is better to die than to live......

Until "Dad, are you all alright?" It's time to eat! Two little mushroom heads were holding the door of the laboratory, and four or five-year-old children blinked their eyes and asked with a yearning for lunch on their faces.

This is not their child, their child was swallowed up by the flood early on, these are all the children they picked up along the way, they call all the men and dads here, all the women and mothers here.

Comfort yourself, but also comfort your children.

Seeing these two ignorant faces, looking at their desire for a meal, the hearts of everyone in the laboratory seemed to be pounded to the ground.

I don't know who opened my mouth first, choked with indescribable sadness, and stiffened my spine with difficulty and responded: "Okay, okay, let's come, let's eat!" ”

With the footsteps of the children coming downstairs and the words of joy with joy, one after another, everyone in the laboratory straightened their backs, maybe they stayed in the dark for too long, they were afraid to move forward, and even forgot the look of hope, but the bravery in their hearts was never missing, and the flame was ethereal but never extinguished.

It may be difficult, but we still have to keep going, because there is hope.

Will this be the last battle? No one can answer, but what they all know is that they all carry the fire of the race on their backs, and at this moment, we are no different, like all creatures on this planet, just want to live.

The base is officially in a state of readiness.

With their current strength, rashly facing the willow tree head-on, it can be said that there is no chance of winning, and if they want to win, they must be fully prepared.

Zhu Ting continued the research of biological attractants, and Yuan Bo was in the base.

And the rest, little by little, encroached on the corners, cutting off the spreading branches of the willow tree, weakening its strength as much as possible
